Psychologist Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a psychologist in Virginia?

To become a licensed psychologist in Virginia, you must earn a doctoral degree in psychology from a regionally accredited program, complete a predoctoral internship, and finish a supervised postdoctoral experience meeting the Virginia Board of Psychology's hour requirements. After that, you pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology and submit a licensure application to the Virginia Board of Psychology. The board issues the Licensed Clinical Psychologist credential, which is required to practice independently in the state.

Which companies hire psychologists in Virginia?

Virginia psychologist roles are posted by Thriveworks, Deer Oaks Mental Health Associates, and The IMA and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's concentration of major health systems, federal agencies, and university medical centers means openings appear across a wide range of clinical and research environments throughout the state.

Which Virginia cities have the most psychologist jobs?

Richmond, Alexandria, and Virginia account for the largest share of psychologist openings in Virginia. The Northern Virginia corridor is anchored by federal agencies and large integrated health systems, Richmond draws hiring through its university medical centers and state government facilities, and Hampton Roads generates consistent demand through the region's substantial military and veteran services infrastructure.

Are there remote psychologist jobs in Virginia?

Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because telehealth has become a mainstream delivery model for individual therapy and outpatient behavioral health. About 61% of psychologist openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting ongoing expansion in telepsychology. Roles focused on direct assessment, neuropsychological testing, or inpatient care remain predominantly on-site.

How can I get hired as a psychologist in Virginia with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is applying for postdoctoral fellowship positions, which are the standard bridge between graduation and independent licensure in Virginia. Inova Health System, Virginia Commonwealth University Health, and the VA medical centers across Richmond, Hampton, and Salem run structured postdoctoral training programs in clinical, health, and neuropsychology. Candidates who lack a completed doctorate can pursue associate or psychological assistant roles while finishing supervised hours. Holding a current Virginia psychology trainee registration and experience with evidence-based assessment tools strengthens any early-career application considerably.

Where can I find and apply to psychologist jobs in Virginia?

You can find and apply to psychologist jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings updated regularly. Search for roles that fit your specialty, licensure status, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that match.
